Fall Hiring is Open!

JYI is seeking motivated students to join our staff!

With the return of the academic year often comes an increase in submissions for JYI, and we expect this year to be no different. Each summer, as students graduate and leave JYI, we look for new, enthusiastic staff members to fill their roles. This fall we are looking forward to the new submissions that have been written and polished during the summer, but we need more staff members to help! We have also been in contact with a very large scientific writing contest in Europe, and we plan to publish many of those papers as well. This is where you come in:

JYI is seeking motivated undergraduate students to fill several different roles within our organization. We are a volunteer-run, non-profit, open access science journal dedicated to expanding publication access and experience to undergraduate students. Our staff is made up entirely of undergraduate students, with assistance of faculty and professional mentors. All of our staff receive training in the department of their position, which may include corporate management, science writing, journalism, editing, finance management, and programming.

My name is Rachel Bietz and I am the Director of Public Relations for the Journal of Young Investigators (JYI), writing to notify your students of opportunities to expand their experience with our international non-profit organization. Originally funded by the National Science Foundation, JYI is an independent, peer-reviewed, online science journal that is managed entirely by and for undergraduate students from across the world. We have exciting opportunities in many of our departments that would allow students to explore careers in science journalism, scientific editing and publishing, public relations and marketing and web development, while contributing to a growing organization that supports the work of other undergraduate students. We believe that by doing meaningful work in their field of interest, students will generate skills and develop practical knowledge that will reinforce the work they are doing in the classroom.
We ask that you please forward the following message to your department or school’s listserv, and that you share this opportunity with students who might be interested. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions at dpr@jyi.org.

Thank you very much for your consideration,

Rachel Bietz

On April 1, 2014 there will be a Great Lakes Green Chemistry Conference with a focus on “Innovating for Success in Green Chemistry” in Cleveland. Please feel free to forward and/or post the attached ‘Call for Student Posters’ to any students, researchers or graduate students who might be interested.

The purpose of this conference is to show how innovations in green chemistry drive advances in business, academia, policy, and human health protection in the Great Lakes region, and how integration and collaboration of these areas are crucial for success. The conference will include keynotes, plenary sessions, panel sessions, breakout sessions and a poster networking exchange.

A poster networking exchange session will be offered to enable interactive discussions for research and implementation strategies related to green chemistry. We are inviting posters from anyone involved in research, safer formulations, new product development and implementation, decision-making tools, or technical assistance. Ideally, posters will make a connection between green chemistry expertise and business needs in product development in safer chemistry. Student involvement is encouraged and entries from students are welcome.
